bge-large-en-v1.5

by Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5

bge-large-en-v1.5 is an open-weight model for feature extraction from Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence, released under MIT License. It has 335M parameters and a 512-token context. At 16-bit it needs about 0.8 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index. It draws 10.1M downloads a month.

For more details please refer to our Github: FlagEmbedding. If you are looking for a model that supports more languages, longer texts, and other retrieval methods, you can try using bge-m3.

Runs On

What it takes to serve bge-large-en-v1.5 (335M parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.

Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the SAVRN Index, read Oct 16, 2026.

SAVRN's Notes on bge-large-en-v1.5

335M parameters across 24 layers and a hidden size of 1,024 still total 0.8 GB at 16-bit, 0.2 GB at 4-bit, with the same 512-token context as its smaller siblings. One 192 GB MI300X at $1.85 an hour remains the cheapest setup we price, and it is idle regardless. Downloads of 9.8M a month trail small's 63.4M and base's 10.4M — the market mostly votes smaller or newer, so buy this only when its scores pay on your corpus.

MIT is about as short as licenses get: commercial use, modification, redistribution, notices kept. The 4.0 GB checkpoint is float32, five times the 16-bit footprint, stored as bin, ONNX and safetensors copies across 14 files. The MTEB figures on the page were obtained with MTEB v2.10.12, so check evaluator versions before comparing against neighbors. Nothing has changed since 2024-02-21, and the publisher steers long-context users toward bge-m3 and its 8,192-token input.

Questions About bge-large-en-v1.5

How much GPU memory does bge-large-en-v1.5 need?

About 0.8 GB at 16-bit and 0.2 GB at 4-bit: the weights (335M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run bge-large-en-v1.5 on?

At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

Can I use bge-large-en-v1.5 commercially?

Yes. bge-large-en-v1.5 is released under MIT License. The MIT License is a short permissive license. It permits commercial use, modification and redistribution, provided the copyright notice and permission notice are included.

What is bge-large-en-v1.5's context length?

512 tokens, from the maximum position embeddings in its published configuration.
